Background on Helen Heneveld

Heneveld has often been ahead of her time – in college she earned her
varsity letter the first year woman were allowed to. She received her MBA at
the University of Michigan when only 12% of the class was female. Now, her
early entry in the 1980’s into the home automation business has given her
the knowledge and experience today to be an internationally recognized
industry expert.

She
founded TALI - a nationally recognized company in integrated home
electronics in 1989. TALI focused entirely on home automation offering fully
integrated systems including: communications wiring, phone/intercom,
multi-room audio, home theatre, lighting control, security, overall control
systems and surge protection. TALI emerged as an industry leader offering a
single-source/full-service team dedicated to wiring for the future and
providing homeowners easy to use systems.

In 1997 Heneveld sold TALI and has been busy ever since sharing her vast
industry knowledge through videos and training as a partner in The Training
Dept, Inc. They are the recognized leader for the very best training,
materials, and videos to educate both installers and consumers about the
emerging technologies impacting our lives. In addition, Heneveld consults
with manufacturers, installation companies, and consumers helping them with
strategic planning, business management, education, and design and
management in integrated residential electronics.

Heneveld is often asked to speak at national conferences on the future of
home systems. She has presented at: CEDIA events – Regional Training, EXPO –
US and International; Parks FORUM; CES; ISC; NEOCON; CABA; CANASA; NSCA;
NAHB and Custom Builder Symposium. In addition Heneveld has written for and
been published in numerous magazines. She has served on the Board of
Directors of CEDIA and served several years as chair of the CEDIA Systems
Integration Council, leading the effort for industry standardization of
symbology. Her dedication to sharing her knowledge continues with a
published quick reference - Residential Technology Terms and Definition.

Heneveld holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Education and an MBA in
marketing and computers, all from the University of Michigan. Her prior
successful business ownership and experience in management and computer
consulting prepared her to blaze a trail in the new home systems industry.
She continues to broaden her knowledge and enjoys sharing her real-world
experiences and success with others.
